It I miBtake not, the Senator from "Wisconsin tpm In this chamber when I uel thJ lanuase. There were present a. fnt numtw or lemdln Repabllcans. I chal lengv) each nd evtrj- man hera to show wherein the people of South Carolina were not Justified, and no one darei to reply. Tillman reviewed the conditions under which - the people of hi state &cted &t the time, to show the disturbed sta-te of legal procedure as justifying Jhe course pursued. He continued: Lynch 3L.a,w for One Crime. Now a word about Iynciin.y and my atti tude toward It. A great deal has teen said In the newspapers North and South about my r-espocuvthtllty in connection with tnp matter. M y position Hsus ben purposely ml nrepro- sentei, and the Senator from Wisconsin has Assumed to himself the right U arraign m in thin body and to pass Judgment of con demnation in most bltlnc and vindictive phrases. Uwlv9 I ever advocated lynch law at any time or at any place? I answer on my honor, "Never." I nave Justified It for one crime and one only, and I have consistently and peralatently nwtntajal that attitude for the last 14 year. As Governor of South Carolina I proclaimed that, although I had taken the oath of office to support the law and enforce It, I would lead a mob to lynch any xnan, black or- white, wh.o had ravlghod any woman, black or white. This is my attitude, calmly and deliberately taKea ana justified by my conscience in the eight of God. Mr. President, the Senator from Wltconslo speaks of "lynching' bees." As far as lynch- Ine lor rape Is concerned, the word Is a misnomor. When stern and sad-faced men put to death a creature In humar form who has deflowered a white woman, there Is nothing; of the bee about It, There is more of the feeling of participating &s mourner at a funeral. They have avenged the rraatent wronn. the blackest crime In all t he category of crimes, not so much as an art of retribution, but as a warning as to what any man may expect who shall repeat the offense. They are looking; to the pro tection of their- loved ones. Unwritten Law Sustained. The Senator from Wisconsin prates about the law. He erects the law Into a deity which must he worshiped regardless "or Justice. lie has studied law books until his mind has become saturated with the bigotry which ignores the fundamental principle In this Government: "law Is nothing more than the will of the people." There are unwritten laws and written laws and the unwritten laws are always the very embodiment of savage justice. The Senator from "Wisconsin is Incapable of un derstanding conditions In the South, or else he has lost those natural Impulses which have for centuries been the characteristics of the race. That trinity of words the noblest and holiest In our language, woman hood, wifehood, motherhood, have Saxon origin. And a man who speaks with light- rm or flippancy or discusses coia-hlooaeaiy matters so vital as the chastity ef woman hood tm a disgrace to his own mother and unworthy the love of a good wife. It Is Idle to reaeon about it; it Is Idle to preach about it, Our brains reel under the Mastering blow and hot hlood surges to the heart. Civilization peels off us tall of us who are men and we rovert to the original avae type, whose ImpulHes under any and a 1 1 suoh circumstances have always been to "Kill, Kill, Kill" 1 Ho not know what the Senator from TVU- -'i nl ri would do under theae clrouniRtucM, neither do I cue. I have three da.ujrh.ter. So heli me Ood. X Tiad rather find Any one of them killed by a tiger or by a bear and dither ud hwr botiM and bury them, conscious that she died Jn the purity, of her mtdenhood. than to have her crawl to me and tell me the horrtrt story- that she had lost the Jewel of her womanhood, or rather had. been robbed of It by, a black fiend, Tbe wild beast would only obey the instincts of nature, and we would hunt him down and kill him Just turn soon as poestble. Negro Who Outbrutes ttio Brute. . 1 What shall we do with A man who hast out- hruted the bruto and committed, an act which 1 1 more cruel than death? Try him? Drag - the victim Into court, for she alone can fur- rish lesal evidence, and make her testify to th-ft fearful ordeal through which vshft has parsed, undergoing a second crucifixion? That Is what the Senator, from Wisconsin says he would do and he is welcome to all the Donor he can get out of it. Our rule Is to mU tbe woman witness, prosecutor. iudfre and jury. I have fc nown Judge court t sit for had down and arrested and In every In stance they we brought Into the presence of the victim, and when she said: 'That is not the man." he was set free. but. when she declared the guilty wretch. It waa enough, and until the white men of the South shall chaw their natures ami heoomd degenerate It will continue to fce enouKh. The Senators from Wisconsin and Colo ih may rave, the newspapers may howl, but men who were reared by virtuous mothers and who admire women as the most priceless jewels of their civilization, will do as we of the South have done. On this question I apologize for nothing. I spurn and scorn the charlatanry and cant, the hypocrisy, tbe cow ardice, the Insolence and effrontery of all such creatures. Attitude on Brownsville Riots. Regarding; hi a possible position on the Brownsville affair, Tillman said: I find myself In this question for the first time sines I have been a member of this body holding different views and talcing, a different position to my Democratic col. leagues. I have no fault to find with them, nor do X criticise their action. No one understands the attitude of the South on the negro question better than I do, espe cially the- negro soldiers. They were Quar tered In 1865 and 1866 In nearly every Southern commonwealth and were guilty of some of the most horrible acts of oppression and cruelty. I fully expected that the peo ple of my own state and of the other Southern States would commend the Presi dent's action In discharging the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. They do not believe there should be any negro soldiers in the Army at all and they would welcome the repeal of the law which provides for their enlistment. They have not analyzed the President's action. I knew my attitude would displease my constituents. It would have been easy for me to keep quiet, but. believing as I do that a great , wrong has Wn done the innocent negroes, that the President had again exhibited a willingness to override law and usurp authority, I have in my feeble way tried to show why I Joined his critics. Mr. Roosevelt has already rescinded one part of his order, and I warn my f ellow- Senators on this side that they need not be surprised to find him a little later on modi fying or changing his attitude in essential particulars on this question. I am pre pared for anything he, may do and shall bo surprised at nothing, for since his som ersault on the court review feature of the rate hill and hia surrender upon a question of far more vital Importance than this, he will be only too glad to seise the oppor tunity to placate the negroes and resume his place as their idol.

Tttlmsn concluded at 3:21 T. M-. when Spooner arose to roply. Spoonnr said fif) declined to bo taunted or beguiled Into'pnmpetltlon In the usft of (vffVnti.vA ' eul theta. j The Senator, he aaid, would took In vain In the Record -for an as sault or offensive epithet he had ap- plied to the South Carolina Senator, He was not a Senatorial censor. If he . wag one, he would not attempt to teach the Senator (Tillman ), , because the latter had deliberately characterized his colleagues by name at the outset of his speech. His estimate of Till man was that he would regret some of his words today as he later read. them In the Record Spooner said the Senator could not be more mifrtaken or unjust than to charge him with holding: malice. "He has never given me cause," Spooner added. "It was appropriate for him to say he criticised the .attitude and utterances of a Senator, and I with draw In no respect what I said aa to the effect of those utterances." "If he should utter words Which would Inspire the black man of the South to disregard law and place more difficulty In the way of the white peo ple of the South, he would expect cm- iclsm." Spooner said some of Tillman's utter ances, as quoted by Patterson, had appalled and shocked him. If at a later date the Senator from South Carolina did not regret the epithets he had today applied. Spooner should feel then for the first time that he had not Known the Senator. Spooner said the Senator had said today-as to hie attitude what he -would not have taken with credit had it been repeated by any other man. Condemnation of Lynch Law. "Government without law is tyran ny." said Spooner, "and the world has come to regard how vital it is, not to the men Involved, but to society." To lapse from this fundamental principle was to lapse Into aaaroaj and bar barism." , When Spooner denied the right Of any state to delegate to citizens the taking of life on personal Judgment and In anger, he did not refer to the South more than to the North, but he did de nounce the advocacy of that doctrine by any men, especially by those in high places. Perhaps. Spooner said, he had no ade- quate appreciation of the Bitaauon m the South. He knew it was a delicate one one which would tax to the ut most the tact of those who must deal with It, for the blackmail, he Knew, must stay there. It was fruitless If anything: hut danger to discuss the equality of these races, and to b.ls mind it meant applying a torch. "Leaving out polltica," Spooner eaid with great emphasis," before the law, the white and the black man must be equal." There was no man so wicked that he was not entitled to the pro- tectlon ol the law. sayin5 he would not discuss that unspeakable crime committed by both, white and black men. he continued: "The Senator will not claim that the appreciation of womanhood and the crowning jewel of the woman's exist ence, her chastity. Is limited to any lo cality. The men of the North. Soutn. East and West equally love aye. In the palace1 or In. the cabin-equally tove the home. l3ven this, ne said, did not obliterate the fundamental principle that .the men so charged had not the right to a civil trial. In all this, he Said he did not attack the Senator from South tJaro Una, but his doctrine. Car mack Says Tillman Grovels. When Spooner concluded. Teller ob tained recognition but said he would yield briefly to Carmack, who -was also addressing the chair. Carmack said: Mr. President, I m not In the chanter In the early part of the speech made by the Senator from South C'arollna. I believe no Senator tar tiaH uri vjpn .mora frequent or fverer provocation for retort than the Sen- ator from South Carolina.

The Senator says my spear la broken and that I have taken a garland of flowers upon that broken spear to the White Houne. Broken or unbroken, that spear has never been dipped In the nyln of the (utter. ' Teller interrupted at this point, and Tillman was on his f eo, expressing the trope - ttiat the Cblorado Sena-tor would, yield to him for a torlef reply, "to my trlend from Tennessee." "When Carmack declared that he mlirht also want more time. Teller in positive language declined to yield to either, bin. addressing the chamber, said he would move to close the doora of the Senate 1'.' he could Ret a second. Senators on the Republican side of the chamber sec onded the motion, which was carried. Minstrel Show Expunged. The closed session was devoted entirely to an effort to secure the expunging from the Congressional record of the portion of Tillman's remarks relating to other Senators, which he characterized as "the minstrel show." and which after two hours' discussion was brou&ht about by the South Carolina Senator's agreement to withdraw his remarks in that con nection. Teller made tlie point th&t the portion of the speeob. referring to other Senators was beneath the dignity of the Senate, but those who had been alluded to at first declared they would never consent to the withdrawal nntU they had had an opportunity to reply. Tillman assured them that what he had said was Intended as nothing more than a bit of humor and pleasantry and .the Senate agreed to per mit him to withdraw the- objectionable remarks, at the same time making an apology. This he subsequently did In open seawion. The secret aeseion waa entirely devoid of acrimony. Foraker Accepts Compromise. The substitute resolution was intro duced iy Foraker. who oMd not give his consent to the compromise until today, but Inasmuch as he was .selected to offer It And it Is not inconsistent with the position he has previously taken., ho finally atrreed to withdraw his objection. He "was first gpiven assurances, however, that the resolution will be supported-by Lodf?e and the unanimous strength of the RepttbMcans in the Senate. The compromise resolution Is Am fol lows: "Resolved, that without questioning the lejralfty of Justice of amy act of the ir-!w1den't In' relation thweto. the oommit te on mil Itary aftalni Is hertty author ized and directed, toy subcommittee or otherwise, to tata and We rented tes timony for the purpose of ascertaining all the -rstr-ta -w 1 th referent to or oon nected with the a.rrra.7- ,t BrownrnMllo on tne nigm V Artist U-tt m Mi COTin.lt- tee a authorised to send for persons and, Papf rp. to k! rtrl rvLn ter o.th. to nl't during foaslons or- rerfss Ofhe 8rnt. and.

In presenting his resolution, Foraker mi that be had amended his original provision so as to make it meet with the view of his 'Colleag-ues. - He believed that the present changre did not in - &ny way alter the effect or his previous resolu tion oy narrow the scope of the proposed Inquiry. "When the facts are, ascertained we Will he In - tha Rituatlnn nf not havimr raised tbe legality of the President's act in any way, ana we will not be preclud ed In any way. l-odire expressed entire satisfaction with the modified resolution and withdrew hia pending, amendment to the original For- aner resolution: lilackburn Claims Credit. Blackburn asserted that the modified resolution was amply satisfactory to him. There is not a. shadow of difference." he said, "between the amendment I of- lered and the modification to the resolu tion which is now proposed." He claimed credit for securing: the change. Blackburn remarked on the prospect of his early retirement from the Senate, and expressed the hope that in leaving the body be would be remembered kindly- by his brethren because of his success as a peacemaKer, t Foraker held the view that the Question of power could not be raised by- the com mittee. If raised at all. It must be done after the facts are in. An exchange ol compliments was In- ludged in between Blackburn and- For aker, which led Tillman to remark that the incident reminds him of the JSlblical passage; " 'How aweet it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.' " Oontinuinsr, Tillman declared that "trie Senator from M&asa chusetts has squeezed through a very Email nolo to get back to the majority ol his party. "The Senator from Kentucky, Blaclr burn, has squeezed out of the very small hole to get back to the consciousness of rectitude and nonpartisan purpose with which he offered his amendment. "I congratulate th Senators on the fact that all of us are united for once." At this point McCumber took the floor to comment on what he styled the foolish attitude the Senate seemed to be in be fore the country. ? Scott remarked that the negro soldiers Involved would all be dead before the Senate committee could set to work on the investigation. Tillman said that he knew the -whole South would tumble over itself to support the President, "because we don't want negrroes in the Army at alL" COMPASY OF KEGUIiAKS SENT People of South Cau-ollnxv Town Fear Trouble IVom fTeg-roes. BEAUFORT, (5. C. Jan. 21.-Murmurs of negrroes yesterday caused apprehension of an uprising:, and the authorities at once sought to secure military protection tor the city. The Intendant telegraphed Colonel W: R Patterson, in command at Fort Screven. Oa asking; for a company of regular troops to be dispatched hera for the preservation of order. The troops arrived last night. The discontent among the negroes, which it was feared mlgrht be fanned into a fury, was caused by the killing or Will lam Bennett, a negro, by a guard early yesterday, while the negro was hanging about the ruins of the People's Bank, one of the buildlngrs destroyed by the dl; iroua nre or Saturday. THRE RlrJGIN CIRCUS - (Continued from First Page.) law shall be passed by Congress." They also refer to section 10. article 1. of the aame document, will oh says in part : "No state shall enter into any treaty pass any bill of attainder or ex prwt facto law. The moment the recount act -becomes a law, McClellan will apply to a friendly Justice of the Supreme Court and secure an injunction, which will stay the opera tion of the measure. This wlU be fol lowed by first, an argument in the Su preme Court; second, an appeal to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court: third an appeal to -the State Court of Appeals, followed by an application to the United States -Circuit Court and the United States Supreme Court. With pro- per application on the part of the May or's attorneys, and they seem to be most enthusiastic, this phase of the legal trou bles should be dragged out for several years. Even if McClellan loses all along the line, and he does not expect to do so. be wilt then be able to make a new fight on technicalities when the ballot boxes are opened, and begin all over again when the result Is announced. If that result Is against ill iru Costs McCIell&n Js'ortilng. A feature of the .case which Is creat ing much unfavorable comment La that McClellan's legal flarht is not costing: him one red cent. The corporation counsel's office has detailed a number of assistants to do nothing except fight McClellan's legal battles in any old courts that come along, and . they certainly are earning their salaries. On the other hand, Hearst is benefiting financially by the change of administration. Attorney-General Jack son is devoting all hi time to the work, and has detailed rlearst's personal coun sel, Clarence J. Shearn, as a -special, dep uty to try the case, which of course, re lieves the candidate of a large part of the expense. A lawyer who had figured on the case said today: "I believe this snarl over the mayoral ty will be in the courts continually until EMcClellajx's terra has expired. It could probably bo dragged out for about four years more, but I assume that both sides will drop It when there Is nothing tang ible to fla;ht for. A conservative esti mate of the. cost of this affair would be 1200,000 for court costs and counsel fees for McQellan, and a similar amount for rtearst. This is entirely outside of the quo warranto proceedings instituted by Attorney-General Jackson. which the state will pay If Hearst loses, and which McClellan will be taxed with If Hearst Is seated. This should easily be. with ex penses of referees and canvassers, an other' 200.000. "The $400,000 first mentioned will not greatly worry the two candidates. Mc Clellan has arranged it so that the city will pay his bill, while Attorney-Genera Jackson has fixed It eo that the state will settle the bulk of the other part of the game. As near as I can see. the tax payers will be out nearly $400,000, which anybody will admit is quite a tidy sum." An irreverent Republican sizes tip the situation this way: "If Hearst haa that $400,000 which is to be wasted on h Igrh -priced and unneces sary lawyers, he. could "rive 200 r.t riots each Job tor a year at 92000 salary; or ho oould hire 723 brass bands, 29 large hsJIs. 463 pormda of fireworks and have a. panule up Broadway.
